Missed the due date on your corporate-card bill again? You may not need to worry -- there's a decent chance it won't ever show up on your credit report.

With personal credit cards, the rules are pretty simple: If you pay the bill late, the card issuer can report you to the agencies that keep score. The resulting black mark on your credit could cause you to pay more for a mortgage, car or other loan.
